For MARIE, grannies 127 year old Singer Sewing Machine, Anne.

Good very cold morning, BUT it will be minus 2 this afternoon! For anybody who MIGHT be interested here's the receipt for grannies sewing machine, if not, apologies for wasting space! Anne.

MARIE, you are spot on. The last time I went to a doctor 4 or 5 years ago she almost killed me with her infernal pills. In many ways I eat a lot like LIN, (maybe a little more chicken, fish and eggs) and today the after effects from the pills are slowly healing, just a slight vision problem in one eye as the burst veins…

Just thought you sewers might like to know I have my grandmothers treadle Singer sewing machine. I also have the original bill of sale. She bought the machine in Beverly, East Yorkshire, UK, on May 3rd 1889 and it's made out to Miss Jessop for £4.90 with accessories included! Roughly $10!!!!! She was about 18 I think and…

Thanks for the advice friends, all of it very good. The home my friend is in does provide lunch for visitors at a small cost, and I would have much preferred to have done that, however her son and his friend want to take her out, so we shall see. I suppose a huge Chinese buffet place with a bustling crowd will prevent much…

Cougar!!!! Me! I think not SANDY, lol. More like a plump little bunny! If not so pretty! Mark and Mary Jo popped in a moment ago and like you JACKIE they say dodge the dodgy food where the masses will be gathered and go for the plain rice and grilled fish etc. Will do. Mary Jo, who can be tantalizing at times, when I asked…

Well, I was spending Valentine day afternoon doing what all of us sweet old gals where doing I expect. Watching a particularly grisly movie and wondering how the makers created such believable effects when the phone rang and I've been in a state of apprehension ever since. It was my very old friend Ellen who now lives in…

Thanks JACKIE, I'm sort of pleased it hasn't changed in the U.K. Much more fun really trying to guess who's got a secret pash. for you. Many a hopeful heart when I was 17 with girls wondering if the postman would call and many a disappointment when he didn't, lol. Anne.

Wow, we've warmed up today to -14c or 7f. The furnace isn't continuously on most of the time, all in honour of St. Val's I guess. I've just consumed my first batch of 13bean soup and it turned out good. Which is just as well because I have 3 more bowls in the fridge. I'm really commenting on what SANDY wrote concerning the…

HAPPY VALENTINE'S everybody. Me, I'm making the 13bean soup right now, it's simmering away, but come to think of it, not exactly romantic fare! Never mind, I shall spend the day thinking loving thoughts and hope everyone is thoroughly spoilt with bunches of roses and boxes of chocolates! A little spoiling is so good for…

SHIRLEY, it's warming up! -17C right now. Spring the sweet spring! Positively balmy after last night! Anne

Just saying : just been out to the mail box. My outside thermometer registers minus -22C. Minus -7.6F. Just saying. Anne (should change my name to Nanook of the North)

I was like JERI sleeping in the buff for the majority of my life until about 3 years ago when one of our friends was found in bed in that natural state by the startled daughter. At my great age I decided I could scar the poor DILs, firemen or sons for life if thus discovered. LOL. It took me ages to get used to all the…

Naughty snacking?

And here's boring old me, stayed the same......as usual. Anne

JACKIE, wonderful news, I am so HAPPY for you. Anne.
